Inspiron 7000 (7537) Issue with connecting / finding 5 GHz wifi network
My new Inspiron is having an issue with connecting to my home wifi.
The router (UPC TC 7200 U) is set to 5 GHz on Channel 40 with n-standard and delivers a strong signal on all other devices that are connected.
According to the product description the Inspiron 7000 should have no problems finding this network as it has a dual-band wifi card.
The issue also doesnt lie with the router as other new devices that I brought to my home can find and connect to the network without any problems.
I downloaded and installed the current intel and dell drivers for the wifi card; still I cannot find the 5GHz network on my new dell.
Does somebody have similar problems and could somebody please help me reseolve this issue, as it is very frustrating!!

Even I'm confused. The wifi description for my recently ordered inspiron 15 7000 says -
That is completely wrong --- Either it's "Single Band xxxxx BGN" or it should be "Dual Band xxxxxx AGN". There are no dual-band BGN cards as they all use 2.4GHz only (not 5 GHz).

I'm also concerned about "256 GB mSATA" drive.
I think this is incorrect as well .....since inspiron 15 7000 is not supposed to have active mSATA slot. It should be regular 2.5" SSD {Probably Samsung Pro 256GB}.
